QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 04:50 AM) Horrible bullpen Pitch selection is absurd as well.

This is pathetic

He's got to be able to throw something besides a fastball for a strike

Jeez PK

CSIAA

Sale might have had the best stuff tonight I have ever seen from a Sox starter. Three pitches that are plus-plus.

Abreu needs a few days off.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 04:43 AM) Shouldn't affect Abreu's ground outs one bit. Good call, he's struggling to get any loft on a fastball

So glad Beckham is batting in front of Abreu against a RHP.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 03:42 AM) Danks is just worthless. His swing will never work at this level.

Wow, crazy play by Alexei

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 02:04 AM) Erik Johnson 2.0 IP, 6H, 6ER, 2BB, 0K Not sure how others feel, but at this point, I'll be pleasantly surprised if he ever becomes a solid contributor for the big league team. Hopefully he has some type of minor injury he's been trying to get over this year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 13, 2014 -> 12:44 AM) Alcantara has already been slumping after a nice start. Baez with 13 K's in 33 AB's, although a bit of an improvement over 10/23. OTOH, their young pitcher Hendricks is doing a pretty good impression of Greg Maddux Lite. Or Dylan Axelrod? Small sample size for Hendricks, but he's been real good ever since he got out of the first inning of his career. He has great command, but a mediocre fastball.

Taylor has been pretty great ever since coming to the Sox. Also, it's amazing how Davidson and Hawkins have gone absolutely quiet with the long ball.

Not even close

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 11:19 PM) Soxtalk said like 36-6 no to that deal. Santiago ERA is now 1.4 points better than Danks

It will be interesting to see if he gets to 40 homers this year.

Hawkins fading down the stretch, as he's really struggling hitting the ball out of the park of late.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) Didn't he only play 60 something game last year due to injury and the Cuban league is only 90 games. Has played in over 100 this year plus spring training, hopefully a day off or two will help plus dhing him more Hawk was saying he actually hopes they bench him during the Giants series so he gets 4 days off.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:51 PM) Oh yes, let's punish him by playing Leury. Sounds great to me. Actually it sounds like I'm the one being punished. Let's be honest, benching someone on this team for terrible play is a hollow gesture that means nothing, especially when punishing a player who factors nothing into next years team. For me, it more goes back to how he never once got benched for a dumb decision. The only one I recall the last two years was Rios. I'm not a huge proponent of benching someone if it's just a freak happening, but when it happens as frequently as it has with De Aza, something should be done.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:50 PM) Abreu is swinging at 100% of pitches and missing 100% of pitches. Looks gassed. I never would have thought he'd go this long without a homer after the first few months of the season.

Abreu is flying open on the fastball.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) Possible De Azaing A stretch of just horrific baseball by De Aza. Of course, he'll continue to get at bats and never suffer any consequences for his dumbass decisions.

.412 OPS since the ASB for Beckham with no homers

Hawk saying he loved the 3-0 green light last night is funny. Does he not remember that Beckham hit a weak grounder that the SS botched?
